Qf4 {ofc I didn't know this move, but it seemed not good.} (8. Qd3) 8... Bg4 (8... e6 {maybe was better. but as he will play Nf3-e5, b6 and Bb7 may be risky, as c6 will be weak.} 9. Nf3 Bd6 10. Ne5 Qc7 11. O-O b6 { one option.} (11... Nd5)) 9. Nf3 e6 (9... Bxf3 10. Qxf3 Qxd4 11. Qb3 {didn't like it.}) 10. Be3 $6 (10. Ne5) 10... Bf5 {with the aim to discourage him from long castle.} (10...

Bxf6)) 15. Rae1 {he wants the other rook on the f file to play f4 later (or if the file opens).} Bxe5 {bad, as was based on cheap tactical tricks.} (15... b5 16. Bd3 Bxe5 17. Bxf5 Bxh2+ 18.
